An American journalist says he personally does not expect much to happen though Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has recently filed a lawsuit against the warrantless spying activities of the National Security Agency.
Å“I donâ„¢t expect much to happen in terms of congressional legislations and Obama,” said Rob Kall, executive editor of OpEdNews.com in a phone interview with Press TV on Monday. Obama is Å“the guy running the NSA. So heâ„¢s not going to do anything.”
Å“NSA is a rogue organization that is out of control and it needs to be reined in. it is a danger to the America in so many ways,” Kall, also a columnist at The Huffington Post, said. Å“Edward Snowden should be receiving medals of honor … for his courage and heroism.”
Å“I would like to see the House and the Senate pass laws that rein in NSA, but the problem is youâ„¢ve got leaders in the Republican party in the house like Peter King saying that NSA is good and youâ„¢ve got people in the Senate on the Democratic side who are in charge like Dianne Feinstein who runs one of the main committees that oversees the NSA saying itâ„¢s good,” he said.
On Sunday, Paul defended his class-action lawsuit against the NSA in an ABC News interview, saying American people should challenge the government’s access to personal correspondence without a specific warrant.
More than 250,000 people have signed on to the lawsuit but many in the US believe itâ„¢s not enough to restrain US governmentâ„¢s spying on its own people.
